After the rest, Hasting didn't say anything more, just walked back, found a tree at random, leaned back against the big tree, inserted the three-edged battle gun beside him, and after a while, he breathed steadily.
Xia Ya was confused, and although she leaned down, she couldn't fall asleep.
Tonight, Hasting and him were practicing against him, and he actually pointed at him. Although Xia Ya was emotionally willing to believe what Hasting said, after all, when he was asked to believe the words of an enemy, there was always something in his heart. weird.
However, there is a hint of comprehension in the faint, rationality - what this guy said makes a lot of sense. At least, they are really strong, no matter what, they are a bit higher than the boss in realm, and their knowledge is naturally much stronger than their own.
Thinking about it carefully, since I learned the trick of dragon thorn, it is naturally a one-shot victory when encountering ordinary enemies, but it is basically useless when encountering too powerful enemies. On the other hand, every time I practice, once I cast the dragon thorn, I immediately lose my energy and I can't practice anymore. After such a long time... it seems that my progress is much worse than expected.
In fact, Hasting's words are not difficult to understand: How can there be opportunism in the diligence of martial arts? Always use the powerful backlash attack of the dragon thorn to forcibly display the power beyond his normal level, which may be used for a while, but the long-term use has restrained his progress.
His real strength seems to be as Hastings said, only barely reaching the level of an eighth-level warrior. This strength does not seem to be much higher than that of Philip before he was injured. The fact that he was able to defeat Philip in the first place was nothing more than a trick.
Thinking about it carefully, although the training on weekdays is considered diligent, in terms of intensity, it seems that it seldom reaches the level of training with Hastings tonight... The road of martial arts can only be accumulated slowly, although in a short period of time. Internal progress is not obvious, but it requires perseverance and great effort.
Before, he had taken a crooked path by relying on such a killer move as the dragon thorn.
Blindly pursue the great power of the dragon thorn, but ignore the tempering of his own foundation.
That night, Xia Ya was half asleep and half awake leaning against the tree, with countless thoughts running around in her mind, and she didn't know what it was like.
After dawn, Xi Ya suddenly jumped up from the ground, then unbuttoned his clothes, took off the front and rear dragon scales that were hidden close to his body, wrapped them in cloth, and hung them on the saddle. After hesitating for a while, he inserted the fire fork into the holster and threw it into the bag, and switched to an ordinary saber in his hand.
When he did these actions, Hasting had already stood up, and just stood aside watching Xia Ya's movements, his face was expressionless, only after Xia Ya was finished, Hasting said lightly: "Get ready. Are you ready? Then hit the road."
After the two set off, they ran all the way. Even though Hasting's dark horse was a steed, it seemed a little too much to run around continuously for so many days. Time has been running slower and slower. Horses need fodder. These days they are in the wild. Feeding the horses with a small amount of fodder and some hay is not a long-term solution.
Fortunately, their destination was not too far away.
After running for a day, at night, it finally arrived - it was the woods outside the small village where the two met a few days ago.
Under the setting sun, the outline of the village in the distance was clearly visible, but it was still so deserted and deserted.
Hasting arbitrarily placed his black horse beside the woods, held the horse's head, seemed to mutter something beside the horse's ear, and patted the horse's bottom lightly, the black horse neighed and squeaked. Run away hooves.
Immediately, Hasting took out the map, looked at the surrounding terrain, and made a comparison based on the position of the setting sun. Finally, he sighed: "It really is a wrong road, it is the village in front."
Xia followed Hastings towards the village with big strides. When he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw the pond at the entrance of the village. Because the rainy season has passed, there has been no more rain in the past few days. The small pond at the entrance of the village was originally an accumulation of rainwater. The one that came down was already half dry.
Xia Ya couldn't help sighing and smiled bitterly: "If I hadn't discovered the wolves you raised here that day, I wouldn't have met you."
Hasting let out an "um" and said lightly, "My two wolves were not easy to tame, but you killed them."
Xia Ya snorted: "Not only did he kill it, but he almost ate it."
Without saying more, Hasting strode into the village.
The village is already dilapidated, there is only one street, the houses on both sides are collapsed and collapsed, and some even have doors and windows open. Looking around, they are all broken, what's so special about it
This village, Xiaya has been here for the third time, and he walked all the way beside Hasting, but didn't see anything. On the other hand, Hasting looked very carefully, step by step, his footsteps became more and more slow, and he even kept taking out a map to compare the position of the sun and the distant hillside.
He walked up and down this street three times, and the last time, he almost used his footsteps to measure the distance on the ground.
Char didn't know what Hasting was looking for, but from the expression on Hasting's face, he could see that what he was looking for was extremely important.
After walking on the street five times, Xia finally became impatient, ran to an open space in the village in the middle of the road, sat at the head of a well that had been buried by rubble, and said loudly: " Just walk if you like. Running back and forth like this over and over again, I would be foolish not to imitate you. Walk slowly, and I will sit here. Anyway, the place is so big, and I can’t run out of your sight.”
Hasting ignored Char and continued to measure the ground distance with his footsteps on the street. After a while, he lay on the ground again, found a tree stick, and wrote and drew on the ground, as if trying to calculate something.
Xia Ya watched quietly from a distance, and when she was bored, she took out the water bag and took two sips of water.
The sun has completely set, but there is still such a bright light on the horizon in the distance, and night has gradually fallen, but Hastings has walked back and forth in this street no less than twenty times.
Finally, just when Xi Ya thought that Hasting was going to walk the 21st time, Hasting had strode in front of him and glanced at Xi Ya sitting on the well platform: "Come down and do it."
"Huh?" Xia Ya was taken aback.
Hasting had already pulled him down, and then pointed to the well of the well under the butt where Xi Ya sat just now: "Let's get to work."
Xiaya's eyes widened immediately, looking at Hasting's hand, and then at the well - the original low wall beside the well was torn down, and large and small stones buried the well. He finally reacted: "Damn, you, you... You wouldn't let Lao Tzu remove these stones for you, right?"
Hasting put his hands behind his back, and the three-edged battle gun was inserted on the ground beside him. He said coldly, "What do you think? Do you think I will lift the stone with my own hands?"
Xia said angrily: "Isn't there water in your water bag! Besides, there are three or four wells next to this place, why do you let me dig this while I'm sitting here? Could it be that you think I'm too idle by the side? , are you upset?"
Hastings sneered: "I'm not as boring as you, so hurry up! I've already calculated the position, and the place I'm looking for should be under this well!"
Downhole
Xiaya was puzzled, but Hasting's eyes were unquestionable. Xia Ya was helpless, so she could only roll up her sleeves and work as a porter.
Fortunately, Xiaya is born with divine power. It doesn't take much effort to remove these large and small stones. He just removes the stones on top. As soon as the wellhead is exposed, he immediately smells a rush from the wellhead. The rotten stench!
The stench suddenly made Xia Ya's brain dizzy, and with a bang, a group of flies swarmed out from the well mouth!
"Damn it! Is it a well water or a cesspool below! Why is it so stinky!" Xia hurriedly took two steps back and covered her nose with her hand.
But Hastings was behind, but he said something that made Xia's face turn pale.
"A question for you... how's your water?"
As soon as Xia Ya heard this, she was stunned on the spot, staring at Hastings for a long time before jumping up suddenly: "What did you say! Damn it! You, you don't want me to jump off. Bar?!"
Hasting's face was calm, and he said leisurely: "You are really smart, you can guess what I think."
Xia Ya shook his head again and again: "No, no! It's stinking here, I can't go down! You're looking for something, but I'm not looking for something! If you want to go down, go down by yourself!"
Hasting said lightly: "Of course I want to go down myself. But I don't know anything about the following situation. There is only one person like you in front of me. Naturally, I will let you play the vanguard for me."
Xia Ya said angrily: "Damn! If I jump down, if there is any danger below... Not to mention the danger, the stench alone can kill people! God knows what is below! In case I die below , didn't you break your oath?"
Hasting didn't change his face: "I just swear I won't kill you, I will go around you three times! You go down the well yourself, and if you die in any danger, it can't be counted on me."
Xia was speechless.
He really could not have imagined that when Hasting, the dignified Valkyrie Odin, put on such a shameless face, it was so, so, so...
It's almost like my father!
※※※
He firmly grasped the barrel of the three-edged battle gun in his hand, and Hasting grabbed the other end, and bit by bit he put Xiaya into the well.
As soon as Xia Ya entered the wellhead, although her nose and mouth were covered with damp cloth, she still smelled an unstoppable stench and almost fainted. Because it was summer, and after the rainy season, the moisture in the wellhead was extremely high, and the air was even more turbid.
Fortunately, the well wasn't too deep, and the three-edged war gun could be put to the head. Xia Ya felt that his toes had touched the surface of the water. As soon as he let go, he thumped, and the whole person fell into the water.
In this narrow well, as soon as the body entered the water, there was no strength under his feet, and Xia Ya's whole body sank, and his ears, nose, and nose were soaked in the well water.
He tossed in the water for a long time, and finally stepped on the water and floated up. As soon as his head was exposed, he yelled.
"Bastard!!! What bastard, threw so many dead dogs and cats into the well! So many corpses soaked in water, they're all fucking maggots!! Fuck! Fuck!!"
After speaking, he spat desperately, thinking of the corpses of the animals soaked in the well water, which were filthy, and next to the body of a dead dog floating on the water, rotting, and maggots slowly crawling on it. - Remembering that he was immersed in such water and fell just now, as if some of it had seeped into his nose and mouth, which made him nauseous again and again.
But Xia Ya just finished scolding, and immediately understood in her heart...
I think this is self-inflicted!
People in this village, throwing down the bodies of these dead cats and dogs is simply the scorched earth policy ordered by More County! In order to resist the invasion of the Odins, the farmland was burned, the food was burned, and the water source was polluted...
This time it's good, I have tasted it myself.
Xia Ya secretly scolded Green's original scorched earth strategy and treaded water hard. Above the wellhead, Hasting had already shouted loudly: "Don't waste time, dive into the water and take a look!"
Just as Xiaya was about to refuse, Hasting had added another sentence: "If you don't obey, I'll take back the spear and go by myself! Find a way to come out on your own!"
Xia Ya was furious, but had no choice but to grit her teeth, and then a fierce man plunged into the depths of the water.
His water ability is actually very average, but after all, he has a good foundation in martial arts, and his ability to hold his breath is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Even though the well water is turbid, Xia Ya has a natural night eye. After soaking in the water for a while, I suddenly felt a faint light emanating from my arms.
Immediately after the buzzing, Xiaya immediately saw the water flow around his body, and hurriedly retreated to the surroundings, and suddenly a waterless space enveloped him!
Xia Ya was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something!
Back then, in the underground lair of Damandras, that fellow Ada gave him a water drop! This bead, he has been carrying with him all the time, and put it in a small cloth bag in his arms.
When I first came down, the clothes were not completely soaked with water, but now the soaking time is long, the clothes are damp, and once the water droplets come into contact with the water, it will play a role.
With the help of this water droplet, Xiaya kept sinking, but she no longer felt the pain of being soaked in this sewage.
The water in this well is actually very deep, I am afraid it is more than ten meters. After sinking to the bottom, I see that there is still a gushing hole horizontally under the water. The waterway is narrow, and I can barely swim through it alone. When Xiaya saw it clearly, he turned around and turned back. He touched the water in the well all the way, and when his head came out, he heard Hasting shouting loudly, "How's it going?"
Xia Ya coughed and shouted, "Not bad! It's good down there, the air is good, and the water is clean - come down quickly!"
